It was noted that the cadets who entered our ranks today, as well as all personal staff of Internal Troops, would adequately fulfil every task set by the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces Mr. Ilham Aliyev, and would not spare their selfless efforts to further strengthen our state and statehood.

Later, newly enrolled cadets took military oath and promised that they would be loyal to our Motherland Azerbaijan and its people, protect the interests of our country, its sovereignty, territorial integrity and independence with honour and would not spare their blood and lives for it.

Speaking on behalf of the cadets, Jabbar Hagverdiyev stated that they took oath by swearing on the sacred flag and would always strive to be worthy of the officer’s name, learn the military profession honestly, continue and develop military traditions with honour, adequately fulfil their honourable and responsible duties and always justify the trust in them.
